Ingredients
For The Filling
6cupsapplesHoneycrisp or Fuji work best, sliced in thin 1/4 inch slices, about 8 medium apples
3teaspoonsfresh lemon juice
1/3cupLibby's pumpkin pureenot pumpkin pie filling
3/4cupplus 2 tablespoons avocado oilOR other neutral tasting oil OR cold butter chunks OR dairy free butter. If using butter leave out the extra 2 tablespoons
1/2cupchoppped pecansoptional
Instructions
For the Filling
Preheat the oven to 350℉
Combine the pumpkin, maple syrup, coconut sugar, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and arrowroot powder in a bowl and mix to combine. Set aside.
Peel and core the apples. Cut into thin 1/4 inch slices or just a bit thinner and add them to a large bowl.
Add the lemon juice to the apples and stir until well coated.
Pour the pumpkin mixture over the apples and stir until well coated.
Add the apple mixture to a glass or ceramic 8x8 dish and set aside.
For the Crisp
Combine the oats, almond flour, coconut sugar, salt, pumpkin spice, and cinnamon into a bowl. Add in the pecans if using. Mix well.
Add in the oil (or add cubed cold butter if using) and mix. Once initially mixed, I like to use my hands to make sure everything is evenly coated in the oil.
Pour the crisp mixture over the apple mixture making sure all the apples are well covered.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until the apple mixture is bubbly, the apples are fork tender, and the crisp is golden brown.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5-7 days.

Notes
Serve with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce.If you feel like there are too many apples to fit into your 8x8 dish, you can use a larger size baking dish.I used oil in the crisp topping to keep this recipe dairy free. I recommend using butter if there's no need to be dairy free, because it does hold the crisp together a bit better. If you don't like extra crisp, feel free to halve the crisp ingredients.
